An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in abortion, further providing for medical consultation and judgment and for informed consent.

HB 1801 amends Pennsylvania's criminal code to update requirements for medical consultation and informed consent in abortion procedures. It directly affects healthcare providers performing abortions and patients seeking the procedure by mandating specific medical information be discussed during the consent process. The key provision requires providers to offer detailed, non-coercive information about the medical aspects of abortion, including risks, alternatives, and available resources, to ensure patients make informed decisions. This bill modifies existing informed consent standards under Title 18 of Pennsylvania law, focusing on clarifying provider obligations. The bill was referred to the Health committee on August 14, 2025, and remains pending further action.
